Convinced?
Can something make sense if it can’t be sensed? Is a thought private if others are thinking the same thing? Does a word spoken in season, at just the right moment, become offensive if repeated over and over? Can you ever put too much salt on your hamburger? Why do we tend to believe everything…

Does The Word “Repent” Scare You?
I am amazed. All these years I assumed a certain thing was true, only to finally realize I was wrong. And all I needed to do was read the scripture as though I’d never read it before. I’m referring to Jonah. You know, the book called Jonah? Yeah, the big fish dude. I’ll tell you…

The Impossible Dream
My wife and I really enjoy watching the old classic TV shows. We’re presently going through the old series, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C., starring Jim Nabors as Gomer and Frank Sutton as Sgt. Carter. Lots of laughs and corny situations; a VERY tame sitcom, which is why we like it. The last episode we watched showed…

Questions, Boxes, Heaven, and Faith
Allow me just a wee bit of thinking outside the religious dogma we call “the box”. I promise I’ll try to stay in view of it, but sometimes a feller just needs to get out and stretch. Know what I mean? Please read this passage from the Bible; the Book of Revelation. This is from…

My Friend
Like you, God has blessed me with a lot of friends. Yes, I enjoy our Facebook friends and the comments we share with each other, but the friends I’m referring to are more than social acquaintances. The friends I’m talking about are people I’m comfortable being with, regardless of whether I’m having a good day…

A Valentine Poem
A heart’s the symbol of a valentine, the valentine, a statement of love. The cross is the picture of love divine, painted by the Father above. O love divine, O perfect one, your love has ransomed me, O lamb of God, O glorious Son, forever I am free. Love dipped his brush into the crimson…

Demand Justice!
What do these things have in common? Rainbow – beautiful colors leading to a pot of gold, an arch of promise arrayed in the sky Salt – a seasoning, a preservative added to foods to reduce contamination and spoiling Gold – soft and heavy precious metal, perpetually used as money, jewelry, and one mystery use…

Where Does God Get His Money?
I’ve been wondering for a while now, where does God get his money? Have you ever wondered that? Here’s what I mean. “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 ESV) “Why, that’s easy!”, you say. He gets it from his riches in…

What’s Wrong With Doubt?
Is it wrong to doubt? Is it wrong, or sinful, to say “I’m not sure”? Why is it okay in some circles to admit, “I’m not sure”; yet in church, with matters of faith, we are expected to swallow everything we’re told? Whatever happened to “Holy Leniency”? If the Lord could allow people to doubt…

O Worship The King!
“Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.” (Psalm 104:1-2 ESV) Let your soul bless the Lord! And may this song, written by Robert Grant several hundred…
